Thanks guys, I will definitely check both of them out. I will check with the place around the corner too and let you know.
David I might take you up on that. I might need some pointers on putting one together, if you don't mind.

David,I finally got one done. The first try was a dud,not much flow. I had to open up the slots,and man what a difference. That thing has some push. I made a rotator,but you need to mount these things to the side of the tank,on a pivot. Then you can attach the rotator. So now I need to make some mounts. Ted

These things do move a lot of water. Daddyjax used mine for a few days in his tank opposite a Tunze (1800 gph). It was obvious this MJ was moving more water than his Tunze. Will the MJ motor hold up under this use ? Who knows, but for the $ throw it away in 6 months if need be and get a new one.

I just got my two maxijet 1200 mods in the mail. I had one of the originators of the mod do it for me for a reasonable cost. They came out great. Very professional looking. It looks like something you would buy in a store.
If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch with him.

If anyone is interested....I bought extra everything when I was making mine. I have enough extra props, stainless rods, carbon fiber tubing, clear tubing, shrouds (already cut on my table saw like the one pictured at the beginning of this thread) - everything ready to turn your MJ 1200 into a stream in about 5 min. without having to hunt down parts / order by mail, etc. Only have enough for a couple, if interested pm me.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I haven't read the whole thread Has anyone addressed the issue of the Maxjets starting up in reverse half the time when used on a wave timer?

It has been addressed. If you look carefully at my second picture you will see a little plastic extension inside. If the prop spins in the wrong direction...the prop will move forward and strike the plastic and stop...drop back down and restart in the right direction.

I just picked the prop. and all the other goods from David and put it on my mj1200 and all I can say is .......WOOOOOOW. That thing is pushing alot of water. Can you have too much flow?...lol For those of you that have not seen his tanks I can say it is one the cleanest tanks I have ever seen.
